WGQ1(AX1) -160A/4P Dual Power Transfer Switch

Q1: What is the primary function of the WGQ1(AX1) Dual Power Transfer Switch?

A1: The primary function is to automatically switch electrical loads between two independent power sources, typically the main utility (Normal) power and an emergency backup source (Emergency/Generator power). It ensures power continuity by quickly transferring the load when the normal source fails or its quality degrades.

Q2: What does the “Dual Power” designation mean for this switch?

A2: “Dual Power” signifies that the switch is designed to manage and switch between two separate electrical inputs. This is the standard configuration for most backup systems, providing redundancy by utilizing one main source and one backup source.

Q3: Is the WGQ1(AX1) an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)?

A3: Yes, the WGQ1(AX1) operates as an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). It constantly monitors the primary power source and initiates the transfer sequence automatically without human intervention upon detecting a fault, and it transfers back when the primary power is restored.

Q4: How does the WGQ1(AX1) ensure safety during the transfer process?

A4: Safety is ensured through mechanical and electrical interlocking. These systems strictly prevent the two power sources from being connected to the load simultaneously. This eliminates the risk of short circuits, back-feeding, and potential damage to equipment or the utility grid.

Q5: In which environments or applications is the WGQ1(AX1) commonly used?

A5: The WGQ1(AX1) is widely used in applications where downtime is unacceptable, such as:

• Commercial Office Buildings and High-Rise Residential Areas.

• Small to Mid-sized Data Centers and Server Rooms.

• Fire Protection and Emergency Lighting Systems.

• Industrial Facilities and Telecommunication Stations.
